Dear all,
Recently I found out that the Green Bee-eaters found in this part of the world are subspecies named Arabian Green Bee-eater. Yet there are 2 types was found when i checked online. Merops cyanophrys and Merops muscatensis.
So which one of these types are correct in UAE? or do we have both here?
I believe najdanus is generally included in muscatensis, depending on which taxonomy you are looking at:
From HBW:
From IOC:
From Clements/eBird:
From the UAE Checklist:
Thanks Tommy for the detailed information.
